As the 2023–24 Championship season progresses, West Bromwich Albion finds itself in a reasonably solid sixth place, a mere two points adrift from Leeds United in third. Despite this promising position, the club faces some glaring challenges, and with the January transfer window just two months away, there’s a sense that potential suitors may once again come knocking.
Former Baggies player and England international Carlton Palmer, hailing from the Black Country, emphasizes the importance of swiftly finalizing a takeover for the club. This, he believes, is essential to provide their current head coach, Carlos Corberan, with the best opportunity to bolster the squad for the latter half of the season.
Palmer stated, ‘West Bromwich Albion have had a solid start to the new season, currently sat in sixth place, only two points off Leeds United in third place. If the takeover of the club could be completed in time for the January transfer market, this would give the club a huge boost in their quest for promotion.’
While Palmer acknowledges the likelihood of Leeds and Leicester securing automatic promotion, he highlights that the ability to reinforce the squad in January could significantly enhance West Brom’s chances of clinching a play-off spot. He reminds us of the unpredictable nature of the play-offs and suggests that with the right reinforcements, West Brom would have a competitive shot at success if they secure a place in that stage of the competition.
